    Good to win first game but defense was very shaky. Hopefully we'll get things straightened out as the season goes along. If not Ohio State will hang 100 on us. I am stoked that Houser didn't get/take a single sack tonight. He has very good pocket awareness. As good as Luke was his pocket...

    I don't know where you are getting that from. This is Dukes least impressive roster of the last three years. No way to argue that. especially with no obvious alpha top 5 lottery pick. No Cooper or Boozer to save them in close games.

    I think we have a good chance of being very similar to last year in the backcourt with Vaaks being our primary ball handler and initiator of the offense with Coleman as the 2. On the defensive side of it Coleman on the ball and Vaaks on the 2 much like how Brad used Wagler and Boswell.

    I thought the same thing. They may end up looking pretty stupid down the road for not taking Mara.

    What is your problem! Mirk did fine bringing up the ball. No you don't want him to be the primary ball handler but he is a good 2nd or 3rd option. Domask also lost the ball or got picked several times while bringing the ball up and running the offense for us as well. I'm pretty sure everyone was...

    In this particular situation the good player sitting on the bench with three fouls was also a poor free throw shooter. Thats is mainly why he stayed on the bench in those situations.

    Ya because he got sat down when he got in foul trouble and then later in the games where you would normally put him back in he was a liability because of his freethrow shooting. Thats why Ben was often in the games at the end plus being a better ball handler. There is no doubt Morez had a...

    It wasn't just about the fouls though. Right when it appeared that he was really coming into his own and getting a little better on his fouling issue he got hurt basically killing his momentum.

    Ty Rodgers that can shoot? Maybe, that would be awesome.

    Thanks for the info. I was just going on that they were both not top 100 rated yet won state titles. I know there will never be another keaton Wagler in my lifetime. Thats like expecting to hit the powerball twice.

    I didn't say he was going to be another Wagler. Just pointing out there was some similarities to their background. Ease off on the attack already. Some people on here are just looking for something to jump on.
